Tour Scotland 4K Spring travel video, with Scottish music, of a road trip drive mostly on a single track road, with passing places, then across the busy A9 road, on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit to Greenloaning in Strathallan, Perthshire. The first part of this road is only wide enough for one vehicle. It has special passing places. If you see a vehicle coming towards you, or the driver behind wants to overtake, try to pull into a passing place on your left, or wait opposite a passing place on your right. Give way to vehicles coming uphill whenever you can. Greenloaning is one mile south of Braco and five miles north of Dunblane. Strathallan is the strath , or valley, of the Allan Water in Scotland. The strath stretches north and north east from Stirling through Bridge of Allan, Dunblane and Blackford to Auchterarder in Perth and Kinross. The main A9 road from central Scotland to the north of the country runs the length of Strathallan, as does the former Caledonian Railway line from Stirling to Perth and beyond. The titles of Viscount Strathallan and Lord Drummond of Cromlix were created in 1686 for William Drummond, a younger son of the 2nd Lord Madderty. Both creations were in the Peerage of Scotland, and are now held by the Earl of Perth. The date for astronomical spring is Sunday 20th March, ending on Tuesday 21st June, while by the meteorological calendar, spring will start on Tuesday 1st March. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. When driving in Scotland slow down and enjoy the trip. Find Things To Do In Scotland
